Adirondack ChairsThe time-honored Adirondack Chair has merited a place in the American backyard for more than a century. Its always been a stalwart for looks and comfort, but thanks to the dizzying array of color choices presented by manufacturers today, it’s also a fashion accessory for your outdoor space. You can choose chairs in colors that complement everything from your home’s exterior to the hues of the flowers and foliage in your garden. And when you add cushions in solids, stripes, or patterns—or a mix—the possibilities really are limited to your imagination. The chair’s distinct look is complemented by other popular outdoor garden furniture pieces, which you can further tie together with coordinating cushions.

This ageless fixture is especially suited for waterside use, whether the setting is a lake shore, a rolling river, a quiet stream, or the seashore, where they stand up to the ravages of salt air. A pair of them on a sloping lawn creates a  classic picture, as does a single one at the end of the dock, fishing pole leaning propped up against it. They’re perfect poolside, too, and the wide back makes a great place to quickly dry a towel in the sun and breeze. And if you are utilizing a large entertaining space a classic hammock is the perfect addtion for comfort to your Adirondack chairs.
